The other day I had Tee's SXT (The DEMON) car up on ramp stands and noticed some rubbin on the arm from the 22" wheels and tires; don't know the offset of the rims but I thought I'd order some 3mm spacers to put the wheel out a little and hoped that would correct the issue. After installing these noticed a lot more space, so hopefully this will solve the problem. Sure glad I noticed this as we felt nothing while driving the car and actually heard nothing when I spun the wheels while the car was jacked up!

And while I had the wheels off, I cleaned and repainted the wheel wells and the brake calipers!

Good catch Mr. Jim! That would have caused unwanted headaches further down the road for sure!

Well at this wasn't enough..... Tee went to the VA hosptial Tuesday as she hasn't been feeling well and when she pulled in and went to back up, caught the front end on the cement stop and pulled the whole NOSE off. We had to put it into the back of the car and bring it home.... never thought about it, but the fender wells rubbed against the front tires and melted them. I had to cut them off and then figure out how to mount the front end 'cuz the fender well holes hold the front end on, so I fabbed up some brackets from metal, drilled holes mounted them behind the fenders and placed new "tree" plugs in there. Seems to be holding fine.

Went back to work this morning and got really sick; ended up in the Emergency room and two more new prescriptions for sever allergies and panic attacks!
I hate she has to work outside in this HEAT and HUMIDITY! Dr told her NOT to try to go back to work until Monday!
It's hard for us as we are outside people and never sit in the house until dark however we are just chillin inside this afternoon!

Yes she definitely needs to stay out of this heat and humidity. It is very rough this year!
